What do reviewers say about French Lilac and A Drop d'Issey?
Some people want a fragrance to perform. Others just want to smell like the thing they love most. French Lilac is for the second kind. It's lilac without apology, not an interpretation.French Lilac
This one plays it safe. The almond milk and vanillin give it a comfort-food quality that reads innocent, while the star anise and ambroxan add just enough complexity to keep it interesting.A Drop d'Issey
